National College Match
Listed below are many of the questions we have encountered in previous fayears. If you do not find an answer to your question, please feel free to contact us.
The Benefits of Applying to QuestBridge
Q: How is applying to the National College Match different from applying Early Decision to a QuestBridge partner college?
read more
A: QuestBridge allows students to apply early to several different colleges simultaneously and for free. You complete one application, and if you are selected as a finalist your information will be forwarded to all of the QuestBridge partner colleges that you ranked (up to 8). Your QuestBridge application will present your achievements in light of the obstacles you have overcome, as our application questions and essays are tailored to high-achieving low-income students.
If you gain admission through the College Match, your scholarship will cover the full cost of tuition, room, and board.
If you become a finalist but do not gain admission through the College Match, you may still be considered in the Early Decision round at some of our partner colleges. Please see Regular Decision Requirements for more information.
Q: Should high-achieving low-income students consider options other than the QuestBridge National College Match for applying to QuestBridge's partner colleges?
read more
A: Yes. Many high-achieving low-income students gain admission to our partner colleges with generous financial aid each year through QuestBridge programs. At the same time, many others are also admitted with generous financial aid without applying through QuestBridge. We encourage students to consider the benefits of the National College Match in comparison to the benefits of the other options available to them, and to select the option that best suits their particular circumstances and preferences.
Q: What are the benefits of applying to QuestBridge if I am not interested in participating in the College Match Process?
read more
A: For QuestBridge applicants who are selected as finalists and who are not interested in participating in the College Match process, QuestBridge offers an application forwarding service for the Regular Decision process. Our application is tailored to high-achieving students from low-income backgrounds and aids these students in presenting a full picture of their intellectual promise and personal qualities in light of the obstacles they have overcome.
Using the QuestBridge application also enables finalists to ensure that their socio-economic status is understood by admissions officers at QuestBridge partner colleges who are actively seeking to increase the number of outstanding low-income students on their campuses.
Many of our partner colleges accept the QuestBridge application in lieu of their own application for Regular Decision admission. Those that do not will use the QuestBridge application as a supplement. All of our partner colleges will waive their application fees for QuestBridge finalists. Please see the Regular Decision Process page for details. Last year, more than 1,200 QuestBridge finalists gained admission and generous financial aid to our partner colleges through the Regular Decision Process, which made attending that college affordable for these students.
In addition, students who apply to QuestBridge without participating in the College Match process will have the opportunity to:
- Apply for Quest for Excellence awards, including laptop computers and expense-paid college visit.
- Join the national Quest Scholars Network if they are selected as finalists and admitted to a QuestBridge partner college through the Regular Decision process.
The Awards or Scholarships QuestBridge Offers
Q: QuestBridge seems "too good to be true." How does it work?
read more
A: QuestBridge is a non-profit program that helps high-achieving low-income students gain admission and scholarships to over 30 of the country’s top-ranked colleges. QuestBridge does this by partnering with these schools to identify and support students who otherwise may not apply to leading colleges. We administer a unique application that focuses on the achievements and academic success of students who face economic challenges, and help to guide applicants through the college admissions process. Our partner schools ultimately decide which students to admit, and they provide the scholarships, not QuestBridge. For more information about College Match scholarships, go to our Scholarship Details page. For a directory of scholarship sites, go to the Scholarship Resources page of our Student Resource Center. We also encourage you to read Success Stories of past applicants.
Q: What does the "binding" aspect of the National College Match mean?
read more
A: "Binding" means that if you are admitted to a college through the College Match process, you are required to attend the college (with the exception of MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale, which are not binding). You are required to withdraw your applications to other colleges. The college you match with is required to give you a full four-year scholarship (with the exception of Columbia, MIT, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale, which are renewed yearly). The Regular Decision process via QuestBridge's application forwarding service is not binding and does not guarantee full scholarships, although students who are accepted usually receive excellent financial aid.
Q: How many full scholarships are being offered this year?
read more
A: In 2010, 310 students received admission and full scholarships via the College Match. In addition, more than 1,200 QuestBridge applicants were offered admission to our partner colleges with generous financial aid through the Regular Decision process.
QuestBridge's partner colleges are not obligated to accept any specific number of QuestBridge applicants. One way to assess your chances of acceptance by one of our partner colleges through the National College Match program is by looking at the results from last year.
Q: Why can't College Match scholarships be applied to any college? Why only to QuestBridge's partner colleges?
read more
A: Scholarships to our partner colleges through the College Match are non-transferable to other colleges because the partner colleges themselves pay for the scholarships using institutional, state, and federal funds.
Eligibility for QuestBridge Programs
Q: Is QuestBridge only for minority students?
read more
A: No. QuestBridge is for students of all races and ethnicities. We recognize that students of all backgrounds may face financial and circumstantial obstacles to higher education.
Q: I am not from a low-income background, but I received a mailing from QuestBridge inviting me to apply. Why did you choose to send a mailing to me, and how did you receive my name?
read more
A: We receive names and addresses of students who scored highly on the PSAT, SAT, or ACT through the College Board and ACT. Thus, many students receive our mailing because they did exceptionally well on their standardized tests and checked a box on their test form indicating that they would like to receive information about scholarship opportunities. The College Board and ACT do not release information regarding students' family income. We estimate students' household income using data from publicly available sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau. However, these sources do not provide perfect information on the income of individual households. As a result, some of the students who receive our mailing do not qualify financially for the National College Match. We hope that these students will refer others who qualify for the program.
Q: Can I apply to QuestBridge if I am not a high school senior?
read more
A: Students who graduate from high school during or before the spring/summer of 2012 and are applying to enter college as freshmen in the fall of 2012 are eligible to apply to the National College Match. High school juniors are encouraged to apply to QuestBridge's College Prep Scholarship, which uses a different application available in the winter.
Q: Can I apply to QuestBridge if I have been homeschooled or have had another type of unconventional secondary school education?
read more
A: Homeschooled students, as well as students with other types of unconventional high school experiences, are welcome to apply to the National College Match. For information on who should submit recommendation letters for homeschooled students, click here.
Q: Can I apply to QuestBridge if I am not a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident?
read more
A: Students who are not U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents may apply. However, only Pomona College, Princeton University, Brown University, and Yale University will consider these students for admission and full scholarships through the College Match process. Most of our partner colleges use federal and state funds to finance a portion of the scholarships, and these funds are only available for U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents.
Although only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents are generally eligible for College Match scholarship packages, our partner colleges will consider all students who apply through the Regular Decision process, regardless of citizenship status. Each year, many QuestBridge applicants who are not U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents gain acceptance and financial aid to our partner colleges via the Regular Decision process.
QuestBridge Selection Criteria
Q: What qualifies as "low-income?"
Q: What do you consider ''outstanding'' or "high-achieving"?
read more
A: QuestBridge seeks motivated students who challenge themselves by taking and excelling in their high school's most rigorous courses. We, as well as our partner colleges, look at many different factors when assessing a student's academics, including grades, class rank, high school courses taken, standardized test scores, teacher recommendations, and other markers of talent and motivation.
Students interested in applying to our partner colleges through the College Match can also visit our partner colleges' websites for more specifics regarding their academic standards. Last year, 80% of the students who received College Match scholarships were in the top 5% of their high school classes. To learn more, see QuestBridge's College Match selection criteria.
Q: How can I evaluate my chances of gaining admission to a QuestBridge partner college through the National College Match?
read more
A: To assess your chances of admission to one of our partner colleges through the National College Match, please see our acceptance rates from previous years. In addition, you may find it helpful to consult a statistical profile of last year's College Match scholarship recipients, as well as our Selection Criteria.
Q: How are College Match scholarship recipients selected?
read more
A: When students submit National College Match applications, QuestBridge reviews the applications and selects finalists (see Selection Criteria for more information). We then forward finalists' applications to our partner colleges for consideration.
All applicants submit their final ranked list of the colleges to which they want to apply by October 12. Similarly, our partner colleges review the finalists' applications and submit lists to QuestBridge of the students to whom they wish to offer admission and full scholarships. QuestBridge compares the lists, and students are matched with the highest ranked college on their list that also selects them. A student can only match with one college. Through this matching process, it is ultimately students and our partner colleges that choose each other.

Required Standardized Tests
Q: What standardized tests are required to apply to the National College Match and how do I submit my scores?
read more
A: To be selected to receive admission and a College Match scholarship through the National College Match, you need to submit the standardized test scores required by the QuestBridge partner colleges you are interested in attending. For information on the tests each partner college requires, please see our required standardized tests page.
To submit your scores to QuestBridge, you should ask your high school counseling office to fax your score reports using the "Transcript & Test Scores" fax cover sheet available on your "My Locker" page. You may either fax us copies of the score reports you receive in the mail or print-outs from the testing organization website with your scores on it. Please do not send us your official score reports directly from the testing organization.
If you are selected as a finalist, at that point you will need to send official score reports directly from the College Board or ACT to most of the colleges that you ranked. Refer to the National College Match Requirements for Finalists page for instructions regarding submission of test scores to colleges.
Q: I will be receiving new standardized test scores after the College Match deadline. What should I do?
read more
A: QuestBridge will review any test scores that you receive prior to the National College Match application deadline of September 30. If you expect to receive new scores after September 30, please list your testing date(s) on the Testing Information page in the application, leaving the score fields blank. In order for your test scores to be considered by QuestBridge colleges for the College Match, you must take any required test(s) no later than October. Any testing done after October will be considered only in the Regular Decision process.
If you are selected as a finalist and you have new test scores you received after September 30, you should send those test scores directly to your ranked colleges from the College Board or ACT. You do not need to submit your new scores to QuestBridge. Refer to the National College Match Requirements for Finalists page for instructions regarding submission of test scores to colleges.
Please note that if you do not have any SAT Reasoning or ACT scores available for the September 30 deadline (i.e. you are taking the SAT/ACT for the first time as a senior), you can still apply to QuestBridge and it is still possible to be selected as a finalist if the rest of your application is very strong.
Please visit the standardized testing page for more information.
Q: Can I rank colleges that require SAT subject tests if I have not taken these tests by October?
read more
A: In order to be fully considered for admission with a College Match scholarship to a specific college, you need to send any required SAT Subject Test scores directly to the college by the November 1 deadline for college-specific requirements. If you will not have these scores in time, you are allowed to still rank the college, but you may prefer not to do so as you are unlikely to be fully considered for admission without submitting the required test scores. If you have already submitted your rankings and you become a finalist, you will have the option of withdrawing the college from your rankings if you wish.
Who Should Write My Recommendations
Q: Who should write my recommendation letters and how many do I need to submit?
read more
A: The QuestBridge application requires the submission of two teacher recommendations and one counselor recommendation, called a Secondary School Report (see below for more information on the Secondary School Report). Your teacher recommendations should be written by educators who have knowledge of both your academic ability and your personal strengths. They should have taught you in core academic subjects, such as English, history, math, foreign languages, or the sciences, during your sophomore, junior, or senior year (preferably junior year).
Q: What is a Secondary School Report and who should fill it out?
read more
A: A Secondary School Report is also known as your counselor recommendation. It is a recommendation form that your high school counselor fills out for you. This form helps QuestBridge and our partner colleges evaluate you relative to other students in your school. The QuestBridge application requires the submission of a Secondary School Report. With this form, your counselor should include a high school profile, if available, and any additional information on your high school.
Q: I am homeschooled. Who should write my recommendation letters?
read more
A: Your two teacher recommendations should be submitted by persons outside your home. For example, if you have taken any classes at local high schools or community colleges, done any supervised volunteer work, or participated in any religious groups, you might ask someone who has supervised your work or led that organization to submit a recommendation on your behalf.
Your Secondary School Report should be submitted by the parent or other adult who is currently supervising your academic studies.
Application Process and Timeline
Q: Will QuestBridge and/or the partner colleges interview me before I am matched?
read more
A: QuestBridge will not conduct interviews. However, some partner colleges may choose to interview you, either on campus or in your local area. This is decided by each individual college, and QuestBridge is not involved in the interview process.
Q: If I participate in the National College Match, am I guaranteed placement at a college?
read more
A: There is no guarantee that you will gain admission to any of our partner colleges by applying to QuestBridge or by being selected as a finalist. Our partner colleges are not obligated to admit a specific or predetermined number of applicants. Therefore, we encourage all QuestBridge applicants to explore and pursue other college admissions options in addition to the National College Match.
For more information about your chances of gaining admission and financial aid through the National College Match, please visit our page summarizing last year's acceptance rates.
Q: If I participate in the College Match process, can I also apply to another college via Early Decision or Early Action?
read more
A: If you choose to rank one or more colleges (regardless of whether each college is binding or non-binding) for the College Match, you may not apply to other colleges through Early Decision or Early Action. Since the College Match is a binding early admission program, applying to both QuestBridge and another program early would violate the agreement with the other program. If you submit a QuestBridge application but do not become a finalist (notification of finalist status will occur on October 21, 2011), then you are released to apply to any college Early Decision or Early Action.
Students are allowed to apply to other colleges for regular admissions alongside ranking colleges for the College Match. However, if you are matched with one of our partner colleges, you will need to withdraw all of your regular applications.
If you decide not to rank any colleges for the College Match process, you are still welcome to apply and use our application forwarding service for the Regular Decision process. Please review the profiles of each of our partner colleges on our website for more information.
Q: What happens if I am not matched with any of the colleges that I ranked?
read more
A: If you are not matched with any of the colleges that you ranked, you can participate in the QuestBridge Regular Decision process. To do so, you should request application forwarding through your 'My Locker' page to the QuestBridge partner colleges to which you plan to apply. In addition, you will need to take further steps to have your application considered for Regular Decision by our partner colleges; please see our instructions for the Regular Decision process for specifics. The colleges will then consider you for admission and financial aid.
You should also continue with the regular admissions process for colleges other than QuestBridge partner colleges, since all of our partner schools are highly selective.
Q: When will I be notified if I am selected as a finalist? When will I know if I am matched?
read more
A: All applicants will be notified of finalist status via e-mail on October 21, 2011. Finalists will be notified of College Match results on December 1, 2011.
Q: If I am matched, can I defer admission to the college for a year?
read more
A: If you are matched with one of QuestBridge's partner colleges, it will be up to the college to decide whether or not you can defer admission. Each college has its own policies on admission deferrals.
Q: Is there a fee to apply to QuestBridge? Are there any other costs associated with the National College Match Program?
read more
A: Applying to the National College Match, like all of QuestBridge's student services, is completely free of charge.
If you are selected as a finalist for the College Match program, you will need to file a financial aid form called the CSS PROFILE. This form is administered by the College Board and is required for students applying for scholarships and financial aid to private colleges, whether they apply through QuestBridge or through the normal admission process. This form costs $9, plus $16 for each college to which you want information sent. Please be aware that this fee is paid to the College Board, not to QuestBridge, and is a fee you will have to pay no matter how you apply to the same colleges, even if you do not apply to the National College Match.
Q: Is this an application for college admission or a scholarship application?
read more
A: The National College Match is both a college admissions program and a scholarship program. The application you submit to QuestBridge is your college application. It will be read by college admissions officers. On the basis of this application, QuestBridge's partner colleges will decide whether to admit you and provide you with a full scholarship. The QuestBridge application is also used to apply for the Quest for Excellence Awards.
Q: If I become a QuestBridge finalist, should I still plan to apply to colleges other than QuestBridge partner colleges through the regular admissions process?
read more
A: Yes. We encourage all QuestBridge finalists to plan to apply to colleges other than QuestBridge partner colleges for regular admission. As all of our partner colleges are very selective in their admissions, some finalists may not gain admission to any partner colleges either through the College Match or through the Regular Decision process. For this reason, we recommend that in addition to applying to any of QuestBridge's partner colleges, finalists should also apply to a number of less selective colleges.
Please note that if you are matched with admission and a full scholarship to one of our partner colleges through the College Match process, you will need to withdraw all of your regular admission applications.
Q: When is the QuestBridge National College Match application due?
read more
A: National College Match applications must be submitted online by Friday, September 30, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Final college rankings for the College Match process and Match Agreement Forms are due by Wednesday, October 12, 2011 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.
Filling Out the QuestBridge Application
Q: How do I calculate my unweighted GPA?
read more
A: An unweighted grade point average (GPA) is reported on a 4.0 scale. If your school does not provide you with an unweighted GPA, you will need to calculate it using the following table:
Unweighted GPA Calculation
|
Grade Points
|
100 Point Scale
|
Letter Grade
|
| 4.0 |
93–100 |
A or A+
|
| 3.7 |
90–92 |
A- |
| 3.3 |
87–89 |
B+ |
| 3.0 |
83–86 |
B |
| 2.7 |
80–82 |
B- |
| 2.3 |
77–79 |
C+ |
| 2.0 |
73–76 |
C |
| 1.7 |
70–72 |
C- |
| 1.3 |
67–69 |
D+
|
| 1.0 |
63–66 |
D
|
To use this table, find the grade point value of your final grade in a class (for example, a B+ is a 3.3) and multiply it by the total number of units the class is worth (for a five unit class, multiply 5 x 3.3). Do this for each of your courses in grades 9-12, adding the grade points as you go. Then, divide by the total number of units you have taken. For example, if you have taken only three classes, each worth five units, and you have received an A, B+, and A-, calculate your GPA as follows:
(5 x 4.0) + (5 x 3.3) + (5 x 3.7) = 55, 55/15 =3.67, or a 3.7 GPA (you can round to the nearest tenth for this application).
Q: How do I calculate my weighted GPA?
read more
A: Your weighted grade point average (GPA) must be reported on a 5.0 scale. If your school does not do this for you, you will need to calculate your weighted GPA using the following table:

To use this table, find the grade point value of your final grade in a class (for example, a B+ in an honors class is a 4.3, and a B+ in a non-honors class is a 3.3) and multiply it by the total number of units the class is worth (for a five unit class, multiply 5 x 4.3 for an honors class, or 5 x 3.3 for a non-honors class). Do this for each of your courses in grades 9-12, adding the grade points as you go. Then, divide by the total number of units you have taken. For example, if you have taken three honors classes, each worth five units, and you have received an A, B+, and A-, calculate your GPA as follows:
(5 x 5.0) + (5 x 4.3) + (5 x 4.7) = 70, 70/15 =4.67, or a 4.7 GPA (you can round to the nearest tenth for this application).
Q: What should I write for my class rank if my school doesn't report ranks?
read more
A: If your school does not report class rankings, then you should leave the section blank. In the text box for "extenuating circumstances" regarding your academics, please explain your school's policy about not ranking students.
Q: What figure from our family's tax forms should I enter for income in the application: total income, adjusted gross income, or taxable income?
read more
A: You should enter your pre-tax total income. If your family filed a 1040 tax form, your total income is located on line 22. You should include all sources of income for each individual contributor, including wages/salary, rental income, government benefits (TANF, SSI, etc.), spousal/child support, and/or interest and dividends.
Q: Can I reuse essays from the College Prep Scholarship or the partner college supplements?
read more
A: Yes, you can reuse essays from the College Prep Scholarship and the partner college supplements. Please be sure that your response is appropriate to the specific question being asked, regardless of whether or not you are reusing essays. However, please keep in mind that you might want to revise and/or update your essays.
Resolving a Technical Issue
Q: I am having difficulty submitting my application or online recommendation because the website is not responding. What should I do?
read more
A: Due to heavy traffic on our servers, the application site slows down near the end of the application cycle. Please be patient and continue to try to complete and submit your application or recommendation by the deadline of 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on September 30.
If you are unable to submit your application or recommendation by the deadline due to technical problems, please contact us at

.
Q: Why is my fax not showing up as received on my "My Locker" page?
read more
A: Please double-check that the fax was sent using the correct bar-coded cover sheet as the first page of the fax, and allow 48 hours for it to be processed. You can then check its status on your "My Locker" page. If you send it again and it still does not appear, please allow extra processing time before you try resending it, as we may have to process the fax manually.
Q: My recommender cannot access my recommendation from his/her "My Locker" page. What can I do?
read more
A: We use e-mail addresses to link student accounts to their recommenders. It is likely that you have listed a different e-mail for your recommender than the one your recommender used to register his/her account. Please clarify with your recommender which e-mail address you should use for them and update your account.
Please ask your recommender not to change the e-mail address on his/her existing account, as this will not create a link to your account. Instead, please change your recommender's e-mail address on your "My Locker" page to match the address your recommender used.
More information can be found here.
Submitting the QuestBridge Application
and Supplementary Materials
Q: Can I fill out a paper application?
read more
A: QuestBridge only accepts applications submitted online. For access to our online application, please click here. Please note that the link to the online application will only be available when the application is open. This means from February - March for the College Prep Scholarship and August - September for the National College Match.
Q: I am interested in submitting performance or art materials to the colleges. Do I send those to QuestBridge?
read more
A: You should not send these materials to QuestBridge. Please contact the colleges that you are ranking directly to ask about the proper way to send your materials.
Q: How do I send my teacher recommendations, Secondary School Report, transcript, and standardized test score reports to QuestBridge, and when are they due?
read more
A: Recommendations should be completed on our website. You will need to register your recommenders' information in your online application before the recommendation form can be completed. You will then be able to print out instructions to give to your teachers and counselor on how to fill out the online recommendation. Your teachers and counselor should fill out the recommendation forms following the directions provided in the instructions form.
If your recommenders would prefer to submit their recommendations via fax, you can download a Recommendation form with fax cover sheet from the teacher recommendations section of your "My Locker" page.
Transcripts and unofficial standardized test score reports should be faxed to QuestBridge by a counselor. Counselors must use the "Transcript and Test Scores" fax cover sheet available in the "My Application" section of your "My Locker" page. Please print this cover sheet and give it to your counselor. Although we prefer an official transcript, if your high school is NOT able to fax official transcripts, we will accept an unofficial transcript, and you can fax this to us yourself if necessary. Test scores reports can be either copies of the score reports you receive in the mail or print-outs from the testing organization website with your scores on it.
Please do not mail these materials to QuestBridge. If you do, your materials will not be processed and your application will be incomplete.
All materials are due September 30, 2011.
Q: My high school does not have my standardized test scores on file. How can I arrange to have them faxed?
read more
A: If your counseling office does not have your standardized test scores on file, please provide them to your counselor so he or she can fax them along with your transcript. You may either fax us copies of the score reports you receive in the mail or print-outs from the testing organization website with your scores on it. Please do not send us your official score reports directly from the testing organization.
Q: How and when do I submit a Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition?
read more
A: Typically, noncustodial parents are expected to contribute financially to the cost of their child's education. However, you may petition colleges to waive your noncustodial parent's financial contribution. Only students who have a history of little or no contact or financial support, or other exceptional extenuating circumstances, should fill out this form.
To request a waiver of your noncustodial parent's financial contribution, you will need to send a Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition to each college that you rank for the College Match. The deadline to submit this form to the colleges is November 1. Please do NOT send this form to QuestBridge. Instructions for submitting the form to each college are included in the College Match Requirements for Finalists page. Pay careful attention to all instructions and include all necessary supplementary forms and documentation. Click here to download the Noncustodial Parent Waiver Petition.
Q: What is the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE and how do I submit it?
read more
A: The CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE is administered by the College Board (the same organization that administers the SAT) and is required by most private colleges for all students applying for scholarships and financial aid whether they apply through QuestBridge or through the normal admission process.
Most QuestBridge partner schools require the CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE, and have a school-specific CSS code you will need in order to fill out the form. Please refer to the College Match Requirements page for school-specific CSS codes and other information, and our CSS/Financial Aid PROFILE page for more details.
Q: What if I have a problem submitting materials or I'm not sure if they have been received?
read more
A: To determine if QuestBridge has received your submitted application or your faxed materials, log in to the "My Locker" section of our website. When you log in, you will find a list of the application materials you need to submit and status notifications as to whether we have received them. When a section has been submitted, its status will say "Completed."
For materials submitted via fax, please allow up to two business days for them to be processed. After the faxed documents have been processed, they will appear in a list at the bottom of your "My Locker" page. If your faxed materials do not appear within two days, try faxing them again. It is very important that you use the correct fax cover sheet with the bar code at the top as the first page for all faxed materials. The cover sheets are available on your "My Locker" page.
The Relationship Between QuestBridge's Programs
Q: I previously applied to QuestBridge's College Prep Scholarship. Do I need to fill out another application?
read more
A: For students who submitted an application for the College Prep Scholarship, much of the applicable information that you entered into your College Prep Scholarship application will automatically pre-fill into your National College Match application. You can then update it and complete the additional information needed for the National College Match, including several essays. Once completed, you must submit your application and all required materials in order to be considered for the National College Match.
